I'm using a date range on a web page to aggregate MySQL data and present it based on the selected time frame. For some reason the values for each option in the drop-down menus are not displaying. Here's the PHP I'm using:
<select name="date1" title="<?=$date1 ?>">
<?php foreach($availableDates as $date) { ?>
<option value="<?=$date ?>"<?php if($date == $date1) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?><?=$date ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
And here's the HTML output:
<option value="2015-01-03" selected="selected" 2015-01-03<="" option=""></option>
The weirdest part is this was working for the longest time and suddenly the dates in both menus vanished. Any ideas why?
This happened becuase you are missing the ending > of tag
Modified code:
<select name="date1" title="<?=$date1 ?>">
<?php foreach($availableDates as $date) { ?>
<option value="<?=$date ?>"<?php if($date == $date1) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>>
<?=$date ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
Your PHP snippet is missing a closing >:
<select name="date1" title="<?=$date1 ?>">
<?php foreach($availableDates as $date) { ?>
<option
value="<?=$date ?>"
<?php if($date == $date1) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>
>
<?=$date ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
Try this way also :
<select name="per1" id="per1">
<option selected="selected">Choose one</option>
<?php
foreach($names as $name) { ?>
<option value="<?= $name['name'] ?>"><?= $name['name'] ?></option>
<?php
} ?>
</select>
Now you can put your code here.
1. Add > tag closer after selected attribute
2. Remove shorthanded <?= ?> tag which is unwanted while you also using <?php ?>
<select name="date1" title="<?php print $date1; ?>">
<?php foreach($availableDates as $date) {
?><option value="<?php print $date; ?>"<?php if($date == $date1) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>>
<?php print $date; ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
I suggest this less error prone code.
$selHTML = '<select name="date1" title="'.$date1.'">';
foreach($availableDates as $date) {
$sel = ($date == $date1)?" selected":"";
$selHTML .= '<option value="'.$date.'"'.$sel.'>'.$date.'</option>';
}
$selHTML .= '</select>';
echo $selHTML;
I'm having an stupid issue here; I'm trying to make in a form, a select with the time the user starts, and the time they finish, so logically, I want to display the time as:
00
01
02.. I mean, 2 digit
But although I put 00 for the initial value of $i, it displays only 1 digit anyway!
Is it any way I can set it to two digits?
Thanks!!
<div class="interval">
<input type="checkbox" id="interval_check"/>
<div id="desde">
De: <select class="hores" name="hores" disabled>
<?php for ($i = 00; $i <= 23; $i++) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?>"><?php echo $i; ?></option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>:<select class="minuts" name="minuts" disabled>
<?php for ($i = 00; $i <= 45; $i+=15) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?>"><?php echo $i; ?></option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>
</div> <div id="fins">
fins: <select class="hores" name="hores" disabled>
<?php for ($i = 00; $i <= 23; $i++) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?>"><?php echo $i; ?></option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>:<select class="minuts" name="minuts" disabled>
<?php for ($i = 00; $i <= 45; $i+=15) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?>"><?php echo $i; ?></option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
just use sprintf to create the string for you.
<?php for ($i = 0; $i <= 23; $i++) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?>">
<?php echo sprintf("%02d", $i); ?>
</option>
<?php endfor; ?>
this will add a 0 if the string is less than 2 characters. I'm presuming that you don't care about the value.
How to make the current month selected by default in option select using php
Here is what i have tried so far.
$curmonth = date("F");
And to display the entire month
<select>
<?php
for($i = 1 ; $i <= 12; $i++)
{
$allmonth = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")))
?>
<option value="<?php
echo $i;
if($curmonth==$allmonth)
{
echo 'selected';
}
?>"
>
<?php
echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
}
?>
</option>
And according to the above code, I am assigning the current month as $curmonth, and inside loop assigning the $allmonth for entire, month.
And inside the Value
<option value="<?php
echo $i;
if($curmonth==$allmonth)
{
echo 'selected';
}
?>"
>
<?php
echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
}
?>
</option>
for checking if the current month equals all month and displaying the selected to make it select. But i am not getting result.. What i am getting is all the items are being displayed in the option select.
What i am missing ?
What you have missed is,
You are trying to display the selected inside the value
What you need to do is
<option value="<?php
echo $i;
?>"
<?php
if($allmonth==$curmonth)
{
echo ' selected';
}
?>
>
<?php
echo $allmonth;
}
?>
</option>
So, the result will be
<select >
<option value="1">
January<option value="2">
February<option value="3">
March<option value="4">
April<option value="5">
May<option value="6">
June<option value="7">
July<option value="8">
August<option value="9" selected>
September<option value="10">
October<option value="11">
November<option value="12">
December</option>
You're not correctly closing the <option> tags you are creating. Indenting you're code makes these issues more apparent:
<select>
<?php
for($i = 1 ; $i <= 12; $i++)
{
$allmonth = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")))
?>
<option value="<?php
echo $i;
if($curmonth==$allmonth)
{
echo 'selected';
}
?>"
>
<?php
echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
//Close tag inside loop
?>
</option>
<?php
}
Hope you are wrong here
<option value="<?php
echo $i; ?>"
<?php
if($curmonth==$allmonth)
{
echo 'selected';
}
?>"
>
<?php
echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
}
?>
</option>
You have missed closing quotes for the value
Take a look on this example:
$current = date('F');
for($i = 1 ; $i <= 12; $i++) {
$month = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
if( $current == $month )
echo $month . " - Selected \r\n";
else
echo $month . "\r\n";
}
IN HTML FORMAT:
echo "<select>";
$current = date('F');
for($i = 1 ; $i <= 12; $i++) {
$month = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")));
if( $current == $month )
echo "<option value='$month' selected='selected'>" $month . "</option>";
else
echo "<option value='$month'>" $month . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
DEMO
You have error with closing quotes in the value of options in the line
<option value="<?php
echo $i; if($curmonth==$allmonth)
{
echo 'selected';
}
?>"
^ // This is the quotes opened for value and is not properly closed
>
Here you have to close the quotes. As per your code it will display as:
<option value="9 selected" >
Also you are not closing <option> properly. Change your code to :
<select>
<?php
for($i = 1 ; $i <= 12; $i++)
{
$allmonth = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,date("Y")))
?>
<option value="<?php echo $i;?>" <?php if($curmonth==$allmonth){echo 'selected';}?> >
^ // close quotes here
<?php
echo $allmonth;?>
</option>
}
</select>
I have the following:
PHP CODE:
<select name="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>" id="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>">
<?php
for($h=1; $h<6; $h++){
echo '<option value="'.$h.'">'.$h.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
This prints:
<select name="valoracion0" id="valoracion0">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
</select>
When this <select> appears I want by default for the selected value to be the max number. How can I do this?
Like this..
<select name="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>" id="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>">
<?php
$cnt=6;$sel=""; // <--- Add a variable $sel with nothing assigned
for($h=1; $h<$cnt; $h++){
if($h==($cnt-1)) //<-- Here goes the check
{
$sel="Selected";
}
echo '<option '.$sel.' value="'.$h.'">'.$h.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
You can try this,
<select name="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>" id="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>">
<?php
for($h=1; $h<6; $h++){
if($h == 5){
echo '<option value="'.$h.'" selected >'.$h.'</option>';
}else{
echo '<option value="'.$h.'">'.$h.'</option>';
}
}
?>
</select>
This should work:
<select name="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>" id="valoracion<?php echo $i; ?>">
<?php
for($h=1; $h<6; $h++){
if($h == 5){ $selected = " selected=\"selected\""; }else{ $selected = NULL; }
echo '<option value="'.$h.'"'.$selected.'>'.$h.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
I am trying to combine a table select output with a piece of code I found to keep the selected state:
<select>
<?php
$desired_option = 'arsenal';
$arr = array('arsenal', 'aston villa', 'birmingham', 'blackpool', 'bolton');
for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {
$selected = ($arr[$i] == $desired_option) ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
echo "<option value=\"{$arr[$i]}\" {$selected}>{$arr[$i]}</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<select id="teams" onchange="this.form.submit();" name="teamid">
<?
include('db.php');
$getTeams = mysql_query("SELECT name, id FROM team") or die(mysql_error());
while ($teamsData = mysql_fetch_array($getTeams))
{
?>
<option value="<? echo $teamsData['id']; ?>" ><? echo $teamsData['name']; ?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
I have tried everything. Any ideas?
Thanks :)
<select id="teams" onchange="this.form.submit();" name="teamid">
<?
include('db.php');
$selected = 'team_to_be_selected';
$getTeams = mysql_query("SELECT name, id FROM team") or die(mysql_error());
while ($teamsData = mysql_fetch_array($getTeams))
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $teamsData['id']; ?>" <?php echo ($teamsData['name'] == $selected) ? 'selected="selected"' : ''; ?>><?php echo $teamData['name'];?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
